Beyond resource selection: emergent spatio-temporal distributions from animal movements and stigmergent interactions
Download2022-03-30
Jonathan R. Potts, Valeria Giunta, Mark A. Lewis
A principal concern of ecological research is to unveil the causes behind observed spatio-temporal distributions of species. A key tactic is to correlate observed locations with environmental features, in the form of resource selection functions or other correlative species distribution models....

Effects of energy development on habitat use of an avian peatland specialist and generalist at multiple spatial scales
DownloadFall 2020
With the persistent demand for petroleum energy products, the energy development footprint in northern Alberta continues to expand, perforating habitat in the boreal forest. Modern in situ, or below ground, bitumen extraction techniques have broadened the extent of accessible reserves and are...

Energy Selection Functions: Modelling the Energetic Drivers of Animal Movement and Habitat Use
DownloadSpring 2021
Energetics are a key driver of animal decision-making, as survival depends on the balance between foraging benefits and movement costs. However, this fundamental perspective is often missing from habitat selection studies, which mainly describe correlations between observed space use and...

Long-term changes in migratory patterns of elk (Cervus canadensis) in the southern Rocky Mountain Trench of British Columbia, Canada
DownloadSpring 2021
Migration can be described as a round-trip movement between distinct ranges and is thought to be a response to a spatiotemporal variation in resources. Large vertebrate herbivores such as ungulates often migrate to track seasonal variability in high quality forage and reduce predation risk....

Robustness of movement models can models bridge the gap between temporal scales of data sets and behavioural processes
Download2015-01-01
Ulrike E. Schla¨gel, Mark A. Lewis
Discrete-time random walks and their extensions are common tools for analyzing animal movement data. In these analyses, resolution of temporal discretization is a critical feature. Ideally, a model both mirrors the relevant temporal scale of the biological process of interest and matches the data...

Unveiling trade-offs in resource selection of migratory caribou using a mechanistic movement model of availability
Download2015-01-01
Guillaume, Bastille-Rousseau, Jonathan R., Potts, James A., Schaefer, Mark A., Lewis, Hance E., Ellington, Nathaniel D., Rayl, Shane P., Mahoney, Dennis L., Murray
Habitat selection is a multi-level, hierarchical process that should be a key component in the balance between food acquisition and predation risk avoidance (food–predation trade-off). However, to date, studies have not fully elucidated how fine- and broad-scale habitat decisions by individual...
